@j.l.emerson5928 ай бұрын
I'm happy to see that you've started looking at Roxon tools. I've had the S802 Phantom multi-tool & the original S502 Phantasy lock blade pocket knife (original aluminum handle scales instead of plastic) for nearly 2 years now. I'm still very happy with the quality & utility of both. What sold me on both was the blade trader feature of both tools. You can trade out the blades without needing a tool to do the blade switch. Roxon makes 17 replaceable blades for them. The downside is that 2 of the blades are only available on the tool itself. So, in reality, you can only buy 15 blades separately. The pocket knife comes with a drop point blade & multi-tool comes with a Tanto blade. The good news is that all 15 replacement blades are still available in sets of 3 blades for $20 to $25 each set. That's $6.67 to $8.33 per blade, which is a bargain if you want to outfit your tool with what you consider the perfect blade for your personal EDC tool. The bad news is that you don't get to choose which blades are in each set. Another upside is that the S802 Phantom multi-tool comes with the nylon sheath, the 9-piece bit set & replacement wire cutter blades. In my opinion, it's a bargain for the $50 price on Amazon. Which blades do I consider worthless? I'd have to say the steel comb & the box cutter blade. So, basically, there are 15 usable blades available for your personal preferences. (I bought all 15 of the 'sold separately' replacement blades)

Weird that the KS2 Elite doesn't include a regular flathead driver/pry-bar option, but only the small micro bits, although the built-in phillips bit is acceptable for most applications. I ground the spur off the saw and reshaped the end to use as a sometime, light-use pry-bar and slot head driver.

Recently got a Leatherman Rebar after lots of research after being a locking folder or small fixed blade and a Victorinox guy for years. Thought maybe I could use a pair of pliers and decided to go for the big name brand, spend the money, and go from there. I love the rebar and it has worked perfectly for me even almost as a single carry item. I have been pairing it with an Izula II for when I feel like the cutting task isn't for the thin blades of the rebar. Now that I have pretty much decided I'll have to start adding more multitools that aren't Victorinox to my collection, I keep seeing Roxon pop up more and more. They really look like a valid contender for a purchase on several of their products. This one being D2 blade is a big plus. On a side note I realized I got swept up in the whole steel nerd stuff again, while I enjoy collecting and trying out the lastest trends, I almost forgot again that most people don't need a $150 plus 64hrc monster performer of a blade. Other than banging the blade into something like when I was scraping moss out of my leaf traps while cleaning my gutters the 420hc has honestly been totally satisfactory. I could have used any other tool and saved the blade but I wanted to see how bad the metal wire traps damaged the blade while scraping and picking stuff out. It really is just fine for a knife. I have used 5cr and below though and at that point it's really not that great, if it's treated and ground well enough though it should be about the same as 440a like rough ryder uses and will be alright for day to day uses. With that side note I think I am going to check out some of these cheaper options for sure.

Roxon ROCKS! HA, HA! My KS2E was delivered on the same day as your KS2E review vid! It's my first Roxon product, and I am blown away with the quality, functionality and value of this smaller pocket multitool. I was looking at buying another SAK, but I wanted more edge retention from a multitool blade, and all the online kudos for the KS2E and the Roxon brand, just made it easy to try something new - I'm not disappointed at all! Great form factor and feel imo, love the grippy G-10, and you're right Aaron, the scissors are awesome and I'm definitely a fan of D2 blade steel compared to the low edge retention steels by the competition. I agree, the pocket clip is limited - it seems more like a shirt pocket clip, rather than for pants pockets??? No discomfort in the hands from the clip, though.... The bit extension is magnetic, but the contact point of the Phillips head, makes the magnetic retention weak, but it doesn't fall off easily - time will tell. The KS2E will definitely get some good (shirt) pocket time. Great review and keep up the fine work!

One of the things that is hard to test for, and where the SAK has a big advantage, is the learning curve and the muscle retention of the tool itself. I can use my SAK safely, even blind drunk or half asleep. My muscles know the tool and I don't have to think about how to use it, I just *know* on a subconscious level, intuitively. I have a few pocket knives like that, too, that I just *know* without having to think about them. Not all tools will form muscle memory like that, not smoothly, not well, and some just fit that better than others. Partly it's familiarity, but not all designs age well. You can't really talk about that until you've had one for years. Everyone knows the reliability and limits of the SAKs. It's a crap shoot with other options, and not an aspect many people cover.

These other newer tools are cool, but I'm going to stick with my Victorinox. It's just classic all the way around. I personally don't care that much about single hand deployment.

I just received mine (KS2E elite) and I am impressed. My only gripes are - Phillips screwdriver needs to be 1 size bigger (#1) and there is no flat head screw driver to turn a decent size screw (1/4" or 5/16" blade would be ideal). The bit driver is also too small but handy for eyeglasses. The star bits could be bigger as well. But I don't need the bit driver because I have a Wiha mini rachet/bit driver kit in my bag. The scissors are just what I was looking for. The D2 knife blade is the perfect compromise, the 3 tool push button release needs to make it into more multi tools. Even the (too small, too thin) saw works well enough. And I really like the very low profile glass be breaker, especially that its a captured ball bearing not a sharp point. Roxon made a really smart tool. I would actually pair this up with the SOG Powerpint for a great mini tool kit.

Solid review, you hit some quality details that I didn't get from a hand full of other reviews about the overall quality of all the tools. Think you might have swayed my decision 👌👌

Aaron your costing me a fortune.. I purchased the Rocktol and I have to say is awesome. But I jumped on the KS2 elite.

Well done Aaron. Another good review. Dont think I have much use for anything but full tang fixed blades tho. Just the way I use my knife. But you always do great reviews. I've purchased many knives based on your reviews, ESSE's, and Bradfords to name a few. God bless you and your family.

I linked to Amazon for the Elite and don’t see that it includes the bit set. True? Thanks!

I love everything about mine except the pocket clip. It's very stiff and hard to get latched onto certain pocket edges. Maybe it should be thicker steel with more of an entry bend?

would love to see you do a review of the harbor freight Gordon multitool. Hearing very good things about it.

Roxon stays shutting it down. I’ve been carrying a Phantom for a while and I’m looking to get the little G10 handle/scissors combo for the myriad of blades they offer. They are exceptional.

Here’s a question to all the knife reviewers “How much caffeine are you guys on before recording one of you videos?” Or is it caffeine you are on?

I just love my gayle bradley 2 too much to carry a regular multi tool. It's not even the perfect knife. I hate the handle and the lock, but the blade feels like an indestructible laser beam. I have way more expensive and fancy knives but I keep coming back to that one. I keep buying multi tools though hoping I find one that I like lol

Roxon makes that for Olight. Same same except for blade steel. Roxon Elite is D2 while OKS is 4116.

@@ParkerBinion Are you sure (even if it is surprinsgly 'same' for me too, Olight has not the lil screwdriver kit but maybe the quality of assembly is better ?)
